#like… belonging to the empire

[wisteriander]

andor is about community. what it means to belong and how what you belong to shapes who you are.

#andor #andor spoilers #like… belonging to the empire #there’s no culture no love #its about power and rules #its empty. belonging to the empire means belonging to nothing #and cassian belonging to kenari. belonging to maarva. #the community of ferrix coming together #the choosing to do good and to love #over choosing to create fear or hate #i think right now both cassian and syril (is that his name??) are searching for a place to be #cassian quite Literally searching for his sister #kinda aimless. all this ‘talent’ as luthen puts it with no where to put it #syril is so desperate to make the empire his identity to be imperial Well #and this show is gonna be us watching them choose #where to go what to belong to who to be #OH YEAH ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER

This definitely won't happen but it would be so fucking funny if they arrive at the planet Thrawn and Ezra were stranded on and it turns out that these two are best friends now and Thrawn is completely on Ezra's side. Morgan Elsbeth pleads for Thrawn to return and reignite the Empire and he's just like "those bitches? Fuck em. Ezzie and I started a band, we play Jizz music on Wednesdays. Here's my wallet pictures of us hanging out."

#Thrawn becomes the autistic older brother Ezra always needed and Ezra is the pet Loth cat Thrawn never wanted but loves anyway #Ahsoka #ahsoka series #ahsoka spoilers #Thrawn #ezra bridger #mitth'raw'nuruodo #ahsoka show #ahsoka show spoilers #Ahsoka Tano #ahsoka series spoilers #What will most likely happen is that they'll arrive to find Thrawn and Ezra were completely separated upon arrival #Possibly Ezra is on a completely different planet entirely #And it'll be an extra side quest to continue looking for Ezra #Thrawn will be the same old crusty musty dusty blue boy who hates everyone and is too smart for anything #<- I only called him crusty musty dusty because my phone's predicted text insisted those words belonged together and I'm crying #I do like him. He just smells #I'm interested to see how they handle his return however #We know the Empire never gets reformed until another 20 or so years from the time of the show under the name The First Order #So idk we'll see #This episode was so great

sir terence...

#I think a lot abt the guy rebuking the emperor and god on earth and declaring for 'guy forbidden to lead by doctrine'... #ok mr middle ranked noble. literally who do you think you are. 'I know better than tradition faith and empire.' WOW OK #kinda character where someone could spit 'know your place' at him and he'd be like: I do ❤️ #STONE COLDDDD #lil bit of characterization I keep in the back pocket #it's just. dion's so righteous. he has to have fallen for someone w similar values/worldview/passions #he lit started a Holy Order with terence. seriously. #“Our people” says Dion. #basically I think *he thinks* he belongs at dion's side unquestionably #frankly I think he sits there sometimes w his judgement after dealing with one of his so called 'betters' and winces at himself like #ah #you know #I must be the most arrogant man alive. #swinging for the fences with these 8 mins but I see the nyx in you buddy. I see the riku. the sansa. #like I'm def tucking him under my arm and running wild but I think the textual arguments can be made and also. my city now.

SNW Christine has the vibes of someone who pours a glass of wine, hands it to Uhura, then starts drinking from the bottle. SNW Christine says she’s going to have “one glass of Romulan ale” and then pulls out a comedically large glass as a goof. Christine wore white converse with her thrift store dress to space prom. I can see this all clearly. She is this to me:

#this is not slander it's her quirky girl moment #Uhura is worried when this happens but Ortega is like YEAAAAH WHOOO #SNW Christine's favorite type of weather is the rain and she WILL get Spock to run around in it #and Spock'll be like 'They never let me run around in the rain on Vulcan...' #and Christine will smile and say 'You're not on Vulcan anymore' and the music swells #Christine Chapel dead-eyed listening to BLARING music as she dyes her hair sheer white in the bathroom <- girlboss building her empire #When will Christine Chapel have her coolgirl monologue?? I am waiting #I want Christine Chapel to introduce Spock to doritos or something I actually can't wait to see how many y/n shenanigans they get themselves #into. I want her to introduce Spock to a junkfood like Doritos and have it play a KEY part in their terrible quasi romance #I do not enjoy their romance but I have fun laughing at it genuinely and I do like having fun <3 #I cannot meaningfully engage with it it's just so silly I just keep hearing 'You Belong With Me' by Taylor Swift when it crops up #Christine lying on the floor of her lab as La la land by Demi Lovato plays #WHO SAID - I CAN'T WEAR MY CONVERSE WITH MY DRESS WELL BABY...THAT'S JUST ME!!!!

how do polyamourous relationships work??? is it like a harem where there's a single leader?? and only they can add and remove new members?? or everyone elects members and votes them out like some sort of government council??????? genuine question.

#also when someone cheats what do the others do? #is the person kicked out or do they invite their lover in #if they all break up are their belongings divided equally like charlemagne's carolingian empire? #memes #writers on tumblr #artists on tumblr #explore #explorepage #female artists #funny #fyp #fypツ #hilarious #polyamory #polyamourous #poly relationship

I guess tales of tragedy aren't as romantic when you have to live through them yourself. I will teach these poet’s hands to wield a blade so that I may hold yours again

Cellbit from QSMP and Andor from Star Wars occupy neighboring spaces in my brain, does this make sense. Proficient liars, somehow more perceptive than they let on despite being obviously clever and intelligent, paranoid and twitchy as fuck, damn good spies, prone to experiencing stretches of time where the entire universe is just so intent on fucking them over (if they’re not doing that well enough themselves already), somehow both ridiculously kindhearted and an unrepentant asshole at the same time.

Just self destructive paranoid bastards who are far too clever for their own good, yknow.

#do you get it are you picking up what I’m putting down #bags under eyes just having experienced the worst two weeks of their entire lives like I’m going to take the fucking feds/empire down #or kill myself trying #yknow? #they’re good at what they do (which is being a sneak and lying out of their ass for the greater good) #they can’t keep their nose where it belongs. and while it’s more Cellbit that can’t resist a good mystery Andor also isn’t just going to- #-quit when something doesn’t line up. or when he’s solving something personal yknow? idk #their similarities is mostly lying and then facing consequences that are like tenfold worth their actions yknow #also they can be sooo unserious. idk #anyways #mcyt #qsmp #sw #Star Wars #Andor #Cellbit #character analysis #z speaks #all this plus whatever is in them that just make people want to hunt them down. ykwim. the charm that makes people want to kill them so bad #Andor somehow manages to get personal grudges to entire government and rebel cells hunting his ass. cellbit got cucurucho and the feds - #plus literally everyone during his pretend to be a villain arc yknow #ok anyways

the dude whose content i tend to recommend as a better alternative to pat's unhinged rambling put out a new video in his 3 part skyrim series and he has bad stormcloak takes too

(i dont feel like being eloquent so im just gonna ramble in the tags)

#i shouldnt be surprised considering pat promotes him at the beginning of his video but i was holding out hope #its at least a little more sound than pat's owning the libs rant #dude makes salient points using ulfric's dialogue and tries to argue that 'skyrim belongs to the nords' #refers not to removing every other race but to returning control of the province back to its ''native'' inhabitants #instead of the empire (full acknowledgement here that nords as native inhabitants is incorrect but it's the easiest way to summarize this #point he's making. significant amounts of the land belong to the forsworn etc) #which from galmar and ulfric's dialogue may well be true given they dont Bar you from joining the stormcloaks and seem to lean more into #the imperial conflict when prompted #but regardless of what ulfric and galmar may say the overall influence of their movement has incited racism on a mass scale and they grey #quarter and argonian dockworkers still exist #stormcloak aligned npcs as a whole will still insult you and tell you you dont belong unless you're a nord #dude argues that the two guys harassing the dark elf woman in the front of windhelm arent representative of the stormcloaks because they #arent soldiers but theyre clearly aligned with ulfric's side #(he also insists that the woman saying it's 'not [her] fight' (irt the civil war) is selfish on her part somehow #and then goes on to give the whole 'but the dark elves are meanies too >:(' argument pat does #theres also the ex stormcloak guy who talks directly about ulfric being a racist but op writes him off because his dialogue mentions #khajiit caravans and the like who he says arent ulfrics citizens #but it reads more to me as bad bethesda writing than that dude being written to have shit arguments #as op and pat are trying to posit #i dunnou man I think if we're gonna argue this we need to look at what the game actually gives us and not what we think #bethesda was TRYING to say if we're gonna pick apart this questline in good faith #you cant just be like 'well i think todd didnt MEAN for them to be as racist as they are so theyre not THAT bad' #and then take all the other content in the game at face value and criticize it that way #cake eating it too etc #anyway sorry for being MIA outside of the queue im working on a restraining order against the wizard at work

Thinking about the villainess manhwa where the mc is just so upset with the original novels ending that she just wills herself in to the story to fix it

#thats me #thats me about iklies in death is the only ending #i cannot think about the series without getting sp upset on his behalf #im just #why would you do this #people are like #oh yea she and callisto belong together because they know what its like to grow up in a hostile environment #like girl #iklies was enslaved by an invading empire #watched his entire family become slaughtered and his people get enslaved #his ass had to fight barehanded against wolves in illegal fighting rings to earn the right to live #and people dismiss him because he saw penelope as a way to survive #and hate him because he was actively brainwashed by the devil #you know #the actual devil #from the bible #i thought id read some ditoeftv fanfic where hes alright #but as soon as i opened the tag i got so upset #because i remember how horribly the story treated him #like wdym the slave uprising is seen as bad #like wdym that the people who are fighting back against their oppressors are the evil ones #like the country theyre from wasnt even painted as being morally bankrupt in any way #they were literally just chilling #and then got invaded #and now iklies is a slave #and just bc he doesnt want to be one #hes evil #im crazy #sorry

SMTH SMTH I WILL END THIS CURSED BLOODLINE

#QUICK PLAY THE TEKKEN EQUIVALENT OF THE IMPERIAL MARCH #but fr hngngngnhh. not only is jin proclaiming his belonging in the mishima family by adding to the ''lesson'' #but also hes doing it to hurt heihachi. even if it was just to make a point heihachi cared in some way about those lanterns #so jin destroying them and doing smth that surprises heihachi is jin's way of taking back control #of hurting heihachi for the hell training he put him through. heihachi made jin ruthless so jin is gonna be ruthless #(and it was kaz's way too! in t1 the only thing kaz liked was making things hard for heihachi!) #and thus the cycle continue #the reason heihachi smiles is because hurting each other is the mark of the mishimas!!! hes succeeded in molding jin!!! #BUT ALSO JIN DESTROYING THE LANTERN SYMBOLISING WHAT THE MISHIMAS HAS BUILT IS FORESHADOWING OF HIS FUTURE GOAL #HIS GOAL OF DESTROYING EVERYTHING INVOLVING THE MISHIMAS: THEIR EMPIRE. THEIR MEMBERS. THEIR DNA... INCLUDING HIMSELF #GNGNGNHNHNNGNGNHHNNHNGNGNH #also i take back what i said about the devil mark. i get why its here now #tagging later

I think we can criticise netflix's Cleopatra without falling into nazi dogwhistles

#or rather nazi loudspeakers at this point lmao #@everyone saying this is afrocentrism/blackwashing ur wrong lol #i think this is just another side of american centrism and to a certain extent chauvinism #the kind that likes to portray itself as progressive but excludes the narratives to whom this history really belongs to #like i havent seen the doc in full but from the bits ive seen i dont think they consultes egyptian or greek #historians archaeologists egyptologists etc #+ they have colleen darnell in there and while i dont think shes bad her area of expertise isnt ptolemaic egypt #i dont doubt she knows her share of things about that period but thats a bit like making a documentary about the modern period #and having a historian who is an expert on the late roman empire/early middle ages in the pannel #+ shes mostly known for being a bit of a fashion influencer who happens to be an egyptologist #over just being an egyptologist

still in morrowind hell (also ik it’s not the same daedric artifact at all but getting moon and star never fails to remind me of this masterpiece)

#p #hope ur all good!!! annie's coming this friday 'm so fdjdsDSJDSDF excited i love her so much #vvardenfell wandering #nammu got really lucky and got nearly full ebony when clearing out a daedric shrine #merarii did illunibi yes she got corprus she got cured we barely managed kogoruhn bc i ran out of potions #cave of the incarnate is truly one of the most profound moments in gaming for me #i truly think the writers at bethany esda were on to something when they had you as an outlander introduced by the emperor of cyrodiil #to present yourself as maybe the nerevarine and that together with the state of vvardenfell as a whole during the game is such #*an interesting exploration of colonialism you very rarely see in gaming #and it's cool because for all i rag on skyrim for how it handles the main quest those two games explore those themes and more and more #i find the civil war in skyrim (the actual war not the questlines) is so interesting and the way people discuss it so fervently even #ten years on #(my personal stance: i am staunchly anti empire i could never support the empire but at the same time i dearly wish i could support #skyrim's independence in order to preserve the scraps of old culture you see like that man who still worships kyne #without supporting ulfric and what he stands for and the hypocrisy of skyrim belongs to the nords when the markarth incident is a thing that #happened. it's just sad to see how the empire so successfully took that from the nords) #(i still think ulfric is one of the best written characters in skyrim he's just a tool i hate him lmfao) #but yeah. meeting the false incarnates hearing the stories of their demise. being able to openly state you just want to figure out what's #going on and maybe free the sleepers from dagoth's anti chim fuckery. yes. gimme that. #anyways merarii solved julan's whole fuckery they're engaged and she's working on taking down sixth house bases and becoming hortator #also i gave up on the long dark for now bc forlorn muskeg just. broke me #picked dragons dogma on the switch and i'm really diggin that rn
